Lesvoo Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 My wife and I are very crafty folk. We both have lots of hobbies we do separately and together. Lately she has taken to working and stamping metal jewelry which is awesome. She decided she wanted to use my small portable anvil I made out of 4" trucking pin. Great. However...it was getting her dirty when she moved it so...she made a sweater for it! She couldn't have cleaned it or worn gloves...she made it a sweater!!!!!! This is kind of like when her and my daughter braided my horses mane. His mane didn't need to be braided just like my anvil doesn't need a sweater! I guess I am going to have to make her her own anvil so mine doesn't have a sweater and then she can bedazzle it and dress it and whatever else she wants to do with it. Love ya hon! :-) Cheers Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Might consider just making yourself a new one, lol. She might get cranky after putting in all that effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Frog Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 What is the sweater made from? I'm assuming steel wool?..... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01tundra Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 This reminds me of something my wife recently pulled. She wanted to spray clear polyurethane on a project she was working on, so unbeknownst to me she used my anvil as a work bench to spray her work......the next day when I started forging I was wondering why I was getting a big puff of smoke off my anvil whenever I would lay hot metal on it..... We had a calm talk about how my anvil is off limits unless she wants to learn how to forge :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Coke Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 What you guys never heard of an ANVIL COZY ... Is your anvil cold in the morning ??? I have a great wife.. Forge on and make beautiful things Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsoldat Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 just keeps it warmer a little between welding heats right :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'm going to have to start checking earlier, Jim beat me to it . . . AGAIN! anvil cozy is the first thing that came to my mind. I don't have to worry about Deb knitting a cozy, sweater or anything for one of my anvils, she has her own. Lesvoo: Would you please put me in contact with your wife? I sincerely wish to thank her for such a delightful bit of merriment. Oh and I hereby open the bidding for a new online nick for you. My bid is: "CozyLes." Frosty The Lucky. Good idea hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Riffe Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Well, that is not as bad as coming home to find your wife driving T-posts with your best flatter and smithing hammer..... We bought a post driver right after this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesvoo Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Alright here is a picture. She even put a collar on XXXXXXX thing in order to hold her metal down and keep it from moving. Watch the language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judson Yaggy Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Hold on, your wife is not only ok with your craft, but plays along in a complimentary way? And has a sense of humor? What's wrong with that? You now have a perfect opportunity to buy an anvil that is big enough for BOTH of you to use at the same time... win win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 if only we knew about this while Frosty was still in traction, I can imagine the look on his face when he woke up.... hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing wrong with it...she just took great joy in fru fruing up my anvil. Although that wasn't her first thought. I'm not mad by any stretch...she just made it kinda...girly. She's already talking about bedazzling her own anvil now. I guess there is a project in my future! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothBore Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 She obviously doesn't have enough to do ..... Get her started knitting a Tent, ... or Car Cover, ... that'll keep her out of trouble for a while. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
